My favorite notion is a stiletto type tool, which I use it to ensure my fabric gets under the sewing foot the way it’s intended. My second favorite are my “wonder” clips, which are used for SEW many tasks.
My first year going to attend and I am a new quilter . I love all patterns the more the better and rulers !
My favorite notion is my quarter inch seam guide, so that I can have a consistent seam allowance no matter the machine. I also love wonder clips.
My favorite quilting notion is my 1/4 inch foot. It guarantees a perfect seam allowance each time.

My favorite quilting notion is my 1/4″ presser foot with the guide. It keeps me on the straight and narrow 🙂

My favorite notion are snippets the small scissors with spring action handles
My favorite notion is a finger pincushion that I wear when I appliqué.
Rulers rule as my favorite notion. Are rulers a notion or a tool? Hmmmm…..maybe I will go with thread. Thread is cool!
My favorite notion is probably My Purple Thing tool use to feed fabric while seeing.
My favorite notion is the stacking boxes that all/most of my sewing tools fit into. I can carry them to classes and retreats, and when at home they fit right into the drawer next to my machine. No need for a duplicate set.
I love my magnetic pin cushion. Unfortunately my white handled seam ripper is one of my most used notions.
My favorite notion is my 60 mm rotary cutter. It has improved my accuracy in cutting tremendously.
